Paul Arnold
Writer
Paul Arnold is a freelance writer and former producer for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). During his time making TV and radio shows he was fortunate enough to travel the world on numerous assignments. Highlights from his broadcasting career include going under the Panama Canal to see how it works, co-piloting a twin otter across Antarctica, and standing on a frozen Arctic ocean at midnight while the sun was up.
Paul’s love of Spain saw him up sticks from his native London, and he now lives by the sea in Andalusia where he writes about travel, politics, science and business for publishers across the world. He is an avid and enthusiastic traveller and looks forward to exploring even more of the planet.

Empowerment Program and other programs by the Bahai Office of Social and
